LIVE THREAD: Senate Democrats fake filibuster of Samuel Alito - C-span 2 10:00am EST
C-span

Posted on 01/30/2006 5:57:36 AM PST by ken5050

Good Monday morning, fellow Freeper political junkies. One of the more ridiculous episodes of political theater is about to play itself out on the Senate floor, as the John Kerry-led democrats mount an exercise in political futility which will further expose their total irrelevance..So join us today, or drop in on occasion, for the festivities...

Meiers didn't have a judicial record, so we do know more about Alito and it's not a secret.
Fatboy needs to STFU.

Teddy thinks this is the filibuster since he's rambling on and on and on.......

Let him ramble. His rambling is a futile effort, all for naught.

I will go out on a limb and predict Snowe votes to confirm. Has she voted against many other GWB nominees?

She can go either way. It's wonderful that her vote is irrelevant. But I agree with your recollection, she's not been against either a cloture motion or a nominee, that I can recall, and she's one of my Senators.

I thnk the DEMs and GOP are "playing together" to make sure the process is dramatic.

Justice Alito will be on the floor in robe with the other justices.

Mrs. Alito will be with Mrs. Bush.

Let the RATS continue this nonsense. They are losing Italian American Democrats by the hour.

Absolutely. There was a sort of a litmus test for our side and that was that the nominee have a track record of actually adhering to the law and the Constitution. Now he's citing the NYT story about the "battle plan" concocted by our side.

Do the dems really think everyone is dumb? It's pretty clear that the opposition to Meiers was that she had no judical experience...

The moonbat base would all move to Canada

Canada just tilted to the right in their last election. The RATs will be lining up in Key West to attaching flotation to their Volvos and Beamers to make the trek to Cuba.

It will be interesting to watch how many Senators actually are swayed by the MoveOners. I agree it is prejudicial to the max to the future of Democrats getting elected.

Hi, I see I didn't miss Kennedy. What in the heck is he rambling about...some New York Times article? It seems that the Times is deciding Rat policy now, if what I am hearing is an indication.

What would the Dims do without the New York Times to frame their political arguments?
